One of the cool things about search engines is that they seem to mirror the collective psyche of all the people who search on them. Australians are no different, and we've noticed that we Aussies have our own special profile when it comes to searching Google.

Why does Sydney, city of sin and parties, do the most searches for Easter and bored? How come everyone in Perth wants a trip to the chocolate factory?

Why do we only come second to the Brits on searching for help? What does it say about our appreciation of our native fauna that we do fewer searches for Koala than Slovakia and Spain? Does it mean something that we do the most searches for hate while at the same time we’re all searching for happiness?

Why on earth in this hot, dry country do we do the most searches for ski hire? Are we all so tired that all we want to search for is sleeping in? Does Australia have more lost dogsthan any other country? Perhaps it’s about time we added a ‘Pet’ tab to Google search for Australia!

If you can offer any illuminating insights into the search behaviour of Australians we’d love to hear your feedback.
